What makes it possible to have a Happy Hanukkah or a Merry
Christmas in America?

The freedoms to practice religion, to speak freely, to
sing glorious praises to the Creator ... to be secure from
government oppression.

On what solid rock do these freedoms stand? The Bill of Rights.

A shining jewel nestled between the Hanukkah and Christmas
holidays, Bill of Rights Day falls on Tuesday, December 15. We at JPFO
have talked about it, written about it, promoted it. Our supporters
have gotten eighteen states and local governments to proclaim it a
special day. South Dakota even made it a state working holiday.

Now we must individually celebrate Bill of Rights Day. Every JPFO member and
supporter should sit down with a child, grandchild, niece or nephew, boy or
girl scout -- and talk about the Bill of Rights. Show the kids a copy -- it's
available at the JPFO website.

Read Gran'pa Jack's "Common Sense" to the kids. That booklet talks
about every single right protected by the Bill of Rights ... in terms kids understand.

If you have been waiting for the just the right time to give someone a copy of
Gran'pa Jack's "Common Sense," then Bill of Rights Day is the perfect time.

JPFO members and supporters are standing up for the Bill of Rights where
other rights groups seem to be silent. Although the NRA, and others agreed at
the Gun Rights Policy Conference this year to support Bill of Rights Day, none
of them appear to be doing anything about it at all.

Other things you can do: Write a short note to your local newspaper, telling
them about Bill of Rights Day. Use ideas from the JPFO website. Call a local
radio talk show, and tell the host the simple fact that December 15 is Bill of
Rights Day. Emphasize that you support "all of the Bill of Rights for all
citizens."

Remember that familiar figure of the older boy carrying the youngster on his
back, with the phrase "He ain't heavy ... he's my brother!" Let's adopt that
same outlook about cherishing our Bill of Rights on December 15 -- "It ain't
heavy ... it's our heritage!"
